In vitro and in vivo characterization of microRNA-targeted alphavirus replicon and helper RNAsKurt I Kamrud
AlphaVax, Inc, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709, USA
J Virol 84:7713-25. 2010..These data provide the first example of miRNA-specific repression of alphavirus replicon and helper RNA replication and demonstrate the feasibility of miRNA targeting of expression vector helper functions that are provided in trans...
Alphavirus replicon approach to promoterless analysis of IRES elementsK I Kamrud
AlphaVax, Inc, 2 Triangle Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 0307, USA
Virology 360:376-87. 2007..The ability to modulate the level of expression from alphavirus vectors should extend the utility of these vectors in vaccine development...
Development and characterization of promoterless helper RNAs for the production of alphavirus replicon particleK I Kamrud
AlphaVax, Inc, 2 Triangle Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, USA
J Gen Virol 91:1723-7. 2010....
Analysis of Venezuelan equine encephalitis replicon particles packaged in different coatsKurt I Kamrud
AlphaVax, Inc, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, United States of America
PLoS ONE 3:e2709. 2008..We examined VRP packaged in four different VEE GP coats for their ability to infect cells in vitro and to induce both humoral and cellular immune responses in vivo...
Development and preclinical evaluation of an alphavirus replicon vaccine for influenzaBolyn Hubby
AlphaVax, Inc, 2 Triangle Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, USA
Vaccine 25:8180-9. 2007..NA VRP also induced cellular immune responses in mice. A toxicology study with HA VRP and NA VRP in rabbits showed no adverse effects in any parameter. These studies support clinical testing of alphavirus replicon vaccines for influenza...
Safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of an alphavirus replicon-based swine influenza virus hemagglutinin vaccineRyan L Vander Veen
Harrisvaccines, Inc, Ames, IA 50010, USA
Vaccine 30:1944-50. 2012..In addition, vaccinated pigs develop both specific humoral and IFN-γ immune responses, and young pigs are protected against homologous influenza virus challenge...
Alphavirus vectors and vaccinationJonathan O Rayner
AlphaVax, Inc, P O Box 110307, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 0307, USA
Rev Med Virol 12:279-96. 2002..In addition, as the alphavirus structural proteins are not expressed in vaccine recipients, antivector immune responses are generally minimal, allowing for multiple effective immunisations of the same individual...
Restricted and selective tropism of a Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus-derived replicon vector for human dendritic cellsKevin P Nishimoto
Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, School of Medicine, School of Biological Sciences, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California 92697, USA
Viral Immunol 20:88-104. 2007..These studies support the demonstration of selective VRP tropism for human DCs and provide further insight into the biology of the VRP vector, its parent virus, and human DCs...
Venezuelan equine encephalitis replicon immunization overcomes intrinsic tolerance and elicits effective anti-tumor immunity to the 'self' tumor-associated antigen, neu in a rat mammary tumor modelEdward L Nelson
Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology Oncology, School of Medicine and Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, University of California, Irvine, CA 97697 4060, USA
Breast Cancer Res Treat 82:169-83. 2003..These data support the continued development and potential clinical application of this alphaviral replicon vector system and the use of appropriately designed target antigen sequences for anti-tumor immunotherapy...
Recombinant protein-based assays for detection of antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus spike and nucleocapsid proteinsLia M Haynes
National Centers for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Division of Viral Diseases, Respiratory and Gastroenteritis Viruses Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Rd NE, Mailstop G 18, Atlanta, GA 30333
Clin Vaccine Immunol 14:331-3. 2007..These assays will be useful not only for routine SARS coronavirus diagnostics but also for epidemiological and antibody kinetic studies...
